### Module configurations
MaxScale 2.1 introduces a new directory for module configurations. This new
directory can be used to store module specific configuration files.
Any configuration parameter that accepts a path will also support relative
paths. If a relative path is given, the path is interpreted relative to
the module configuration directory. The default value is
_/etc/maxscale.modules.d_.
For example, the `dbfwfilter` rule files could be stored in
_/etc/maxscale.modules.d/my_rules.txt_ and referred to with
`rules=my_rules.txt`.
For more details, refer to the documentation of _module_configdir_ in the
[Configuration Guide](../Getting-Started/Configuration-Guide.md)
